Youth hockey skate size calculator
Use your child's US shoe size to look up a starting size from CCM's published chart. Compare the listed foot length with a measurement of both feet before choosing a model.
For a US kids’ shoe size 3 after the youth shoe sizes, start by trying CCM junior 2. CCM lists a foot length of 21.8 cm for that row. A toddler shoe labeled 3 is a different size and is outside this chart.

Y marks the smaller children’s size range. Use the chart as a starting point for a fitting.
What to check at the fitting
- Measure both feet. Record each heel-to-toe length in centimeters and bring both measurements. Use the longer foot as your chart starting point and try both skates.
- Bring the socks they skate in. Lace both skates and have your child bend their knees. Ask about heel lift, toes that feel cramped and pressure across the sides of the foot.
- Check the exact model. Try the neighboring size if the fitter recommends it. Confirm which widths the youth or junior model comes in and check return terms before sharpening or heat molding.
